It always disappoints me how quickly the scent dissipates...you pick a gardenia, and as soon as it begins to dry all the beautful rich scent is completely gone. totally unlike an other flower, which will retain at least some of it's scent as it dries... Possibly the scent molecules are not oil soluble either? Ambrosia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
